Curtis Creek

<p>We planned to leave early<br/>And to pack unheavy<br/>Because the truck was getting full<br/>But the same old fear<br/>At the end of the year<br/>Wouldn&#x27;t let us leave so soon<br/><br/>The Blue Ridge Mountains were calling<br/>The rain was falling<br/>The wind was in our faces<br/>And above the sound<br/>Of the engine I found us<br/>Arriving at those places<br/><br/>I&#x27;ve heard you say a<br/>Thousand times<br/>That we could never leave<br/>This town<br/>But where were you last night<br/>When the sun went down<br/>The rain proved steady<br/>And as our packs wore heavy<br/>With the weight of our survival<br/>The woods rang loud<br/>With the love of our God<br/>And the sound of our revival<br/>The summer wind turned colder<br/>As the day grew older<br/>The night would soon surround us<br/>The Curtis Falls<br/>Had a view of it all<br/>As the snow fell all around us<br/><br/>I&#x27;ve heard you say a<br/>Thousand times<br/>That we could never leave<br/>This town<br/>But where were you last night<br/>When the sun went down<br/><br/>I was singing alone<br/>You were standing on the side<br/>And the water so warm<br/>As you walked the mountain side<br/>And you washed my feet and cried<br/>Well, the days passed quickly<br/>And our time was over<br/>Three souls the same in sorrow<br/>But the Reds and rain<br/>Put an intimate stain<br/>On the start of our tomorrow<br/><br/>And soon our pieces will scatter<br/>In a world of anger<br/>The only thing to free us<br/>Is the part of man<br/>That we don&#x27;t understand<br/>That found a place between us<br/><br/>I&#x27;ve heard you say a<br/>Thousand times<br/>That we could never leave<br/>This town<br/>But where were you last night<br/>When the sun went down
